life: acoustic & amplified

poetry, quotes & thoughts about life

Imagine

what if? the sky was pink, and the clouds green. would it rain more, or shine less?   what if? the sun made it dark, and the stars switched off. would the moon take over, or the birds stop flying?   what if? the mud was blue, and the grass grey. would you walk on, or skip back?   what if? the trees had whiskers, and the squirells barked. would the dogs whisper, and the cats purr?   what if? the laugh was bitter, and the tears sweet. would you smile less, and cry more?   what if? the water was dry, and the air wet. would you swim past, or fly through?   what if? secrets were to be shared, and truth be hidden. would you never talk, and remember forever?   what if? friends were hated, and enemies loved. would you stop loving, and hate all?   what if? lovers never sang, and words never described. would you never hum, and remain inexpressive?   what if? the beginning was the end, and the end the beginning. would you die amidst joy, or live in mourning?   what if? sense was meaningless, and confusion knowledge. would thinking ruin it all, or knowing make you dull?   what if? love killed all, and kisses burnt lips. would you rather die, or scorch yourself?   what if? marriage left you alone, and children made you lonely. would you never love again, or would you stop making love?
